Neighbor behind me called over the fence the other day to come take a look.
He knows that I'm a motor head and lead me to his garage. There stood the
most magnificently restored 1970 Dodge Challenger I had ever seen, Yellow
exterior with black interior. He is a manager at one of the NY City Bus
garages and a former mechanic but bought the car restored. Original numbers
don't match so there had been some swapping done but still impressive.

I just looked out the window. I can see the columns of light from the World
Trade Center site that are on as a tribute tonight. God bless the innocent
souls that were lost there.

I keep forgetting you're in New York. The lights seems like a great
tribute. We were watching some of the archived news footage over at my
Mom's tonight showing the 2nd plane fly into the tower - took me right back
to that morning before work when I was drinking coffee, reading my email and
watching the news on the TV out of the corner of my eye. By the time I was
on the road to work with the radio on listening to what was going on, the
2nd tower came down. Can't believe it's been 3 years.

Cool about your neighbor's Challenger - great looking cars I think.

I got a neighbor with a '70 Roadrunner, with a Hemi. A somewhat, uh,
worked Hemi. He owes me a ride in it But probbably won't let me
drive

Comming home from Home Depot tonight, mom and I saw it. Still remember
that day - I watched the coverage on a 50's vintage B&W portable TV set
i was restoring at the time. The set never let me down - still hasn't.
Just another chapter of history it went through. I imagine the
origional owner saw a lot of history on it, too!
